Texas Coach Mack Brown told reporters at his signing day press conference that committed recruits would effectively be banned from taking visits to other schools.

"We've allowed a couple of kids to commit and still look around the last couple years," Brown said. "We're going to go back and say, 'We're not doing that anymore. If you're committed to us, you're committed. If you're going to go look, we're going to go look.' "

This new edict likely stems from the loss of five-star defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson, who decommitted from Texas, signing instead with Alabama.

Tulane also lost a commitment. However, this prospect decommitted before taking his visits.

O. Perry Walker linebacker Lyn Clark, a former long-time Green Wave pledge, abruptly decommitted in January after he and the Tulane coaching staff "disagreed" on whether he should take his planned visits elsewhere.

“I wanted to take other visits because that was my plan," Clark told NOLA.com | Times-Picayune recruiting analyst James Smith. "I have been planning on taking some visits for some time. I want to visit Louisville and La Tech, and it was something the coaches and I didn’t agree on.”

Clark, who ultimately signed with Louisiville, hinted at his signing ceremony that the disagreements over his visits affected his decision.

"It was hard," Clark said at his ceremony. "It was like leaving your family. Like I told my parents, this was a business decision. At the end of the day, that's what this is -- a business. Overall, we had some disagreements on some things. But I still love Coach Johnson and the entire coaching staff. I hope to see them in the future."

Do you think coaches should bar commitments from visiting other schools? Is it a good thing?
